The Arizona Pickleball Player’s League (APPL) is a nonprofit organization that was founded and is currently led by a group of volunteers with a shared desire to make competitive team-based league pickleball available to players all throughout Arizona.
Founder of Arizona Pickleball Player’s League, Greg now serves as the organization’s president and league commissioner.
Here since the organization’s beginning, Bob has taken the lead on several strategic projects supporting APPL’s objectives. Bob’s current goal as head of Strategic Initiatives is to help players not currently on a team find a home in the APPL community.
Wearing a variety of administrative hats including managing our legal and corporate requirements, Brian and his efforts also led to the creation of the Casa Grande community-based league and its incorporation into APPL.
Alexa's role is to ensure our communications, processes, assimilation and tools are effective for our players and volunteers.
Steve currently is one of our key contacts for the development of instructional programs and player development. Steve also has several teaching pro certifications and is a certified ratings clinician.
Also here since the organization’s beginning, Carol was largely responsible for the formation of the APPL West Valley region. Carol also serves as our APPL Media Relations contact and our USA Pickleball liaison.
Managing the maintenance and updates to APPL's website as well as all APPL regional websites, Brenda has been largely responsible for making our software systems interfaces user friendly and easy to learn and navigate.
Instrumental in the development of the East Valley Region's Women's Division, Missy also is responsible for one of APPL's Strategic Objectives to continuously improve the player experience.
Priscilla has played an important role in the development and growth of the APPL Southern Region. She is a leader in general pickleball growth with her involvement in the Tucson Area Pickleball organization.
“The West Valley APPL league play was a great way for us to meet players from other resorts and have some very competitive pickleball play too. We are excited about creating more teams from Happy Trails this year, and look forward to another fun year of pickleball play.”
